Confounding File I/O problem

Code:

---

    MsgBox (FileLen(strread))
    Open strread For Input As #intFILE
   
'      Read text file line by line and insert into table.
    Do Until EOF(intFILE)
        Input #intFILE, strord_doc_nbr

---

This simple bit of code is bugging the <expletive> out of me.

FileLen confirms that strread is the correct path to the file, but when I get to the Input #intFile .... it doesn't read the file.

This same bit of code worked when I was pointing to a local file, bu now it doesn't work ... the only difference is that I'm pointing to a network file ... doesn't make sense ....

Any ideas???

Need a solution

How does FileLen "confirms that strread is the correct path to the file"? It only returns the file length.

If it was not the correct filepath then it would not return anything

Have you ever done

MsgBox strread

?

Yes and I can verify the path on the code mouse-over .. the path is correct

Well, I'm not sure I follow completely, but if your path is right, perhaps you aren't allowed access to that file on that network for some reason?
